Madden 25: 10 Fastest QBs, Ranked

Important takeaways

  • Quality quarterbacks are critical to success in Madden NFL 25, where speed and decision-making are critical factors.
  • Players like Lamar Jackson and Kyler Murray stand out for their exceptional speed and skill, making them ideal picks.
  • Contract, salary and player attributes should all be considered when selecting a quarterback in the game.



A quarterback on a football team functions almost like a human brain. Without the brain, it would be impossible to do the simplest things, and football would be meaningless without a quarterback. So the better quarterback a team has, the better it can handle situations, even though the brain alone can't do much, because it needs muscles to execute the plans.

Madden NFL 25: Best teams to rebuild in franchise mode, ranked

Take these struggling teams to glory in Madden NFL 25.

So, the crucial part of creating a top class team i Madden NFL 25 is to get the best possible quarterback, who is quick enough to decide what needs to be done on short notice. Throwing accurate passes is one thing, but for running quarterbacks, being quick and agile almost like a bullet is also another factor to consider.


10 Jordan Travis

Speed: 88, Scrambling Quarterback


The New York Jets' young quarterback comes with a not-so-impressive overall grade. However, he offers significant speed and agility stats, which are his main strengths among all other stats. Thanks to these eye-popping stats, Jordan Travis could be a decent dual-threat quarterback to begin with.

His salary is nothing compared to the top quarterbacks, and he can be improved in Ultimate Team by using enough consumables to raise the total. For franchise players, Travis may not have a viable option early on as he has a 4-year contract in place with the Jets.

9 Geno Smith

Speed: 89, balanced quarterback


Geno Smith may only be slightly faster than Travis, but he comes with better stats overall in the other fields, making him a very solid option for any team in the NFL. Smith's total stats are 13 units higher than Travis', and that difference is also visible in the salary, as Smith earns 15 times more than Travis.

Smith is not only a fast player but some other special skills. He also comes with an 88 throw power and 90 short accuracy, making him a capable quarterback to pass the ball, in addition to his excellent ability to play as a running QB. Smith is also an aggressive decision maker, making him more than capable of sending out passes even when under heavy pressure.

8 Joshua Dobbs

Speed: 89, balanced quarterback


Dobbs comes in with an overall rating so close to Travis, but he has some qualities that make him a better option. The player's 89 Speed ​​and 85 Agility send him slightly higher than Travis and Smith in terms of being fast, but he is better than Travis because he has the Ideal Decision Maker trait.

Madden NFL 25: 6 tips and tricks for the franchise

It's always a good idea to know what you can do to get an edge in Madden NFL 25, and Franchise has plenty of things to keep track of.

With just one year of contract in place with the San Francisco 49ers and a $300,000 salary, Dobbs is a great steal for any franchise looking for a cheap second or third quarterback on the team. Dobbs has an average sense of pressure, which isn't great, but he brings a significant one

7 Jealousy hurts

Speed: 89, Scrambling Quarterback


It didn't take Jalen Hurts more than a few seasons to showcase his incredible skills for the Eagles. Hurt's performance was satisfactory enough that he was offered the most expensive 5-year contract with a no-trade clause in Eagles history as early as 2023, making him an elusive target for the franchise players in Madden 25 in the first five seasons.

Agility and Short Accuracy are the best stats for Jalen Hurts, but he's also a Superstar X-Factor and he comes with an ideal decision-making attribute, which isn't the best, but still gets the job done for experienced players. However, his sense of pressure is paranoid, which is not good enough.

6 Jayden Daniels

Speed: 90, balanced quarterback


Another young dual-threat quarterback with impressive stats all around. Jayden Daniels has a paranoid sense of pressure and is a conservative decision maker, both of which are not good, but a quick look at his stats will make the player forget about these weaknesses.

Madden NFL 25: 5 Best Halfbacks, Ranked

When it comes to scoring touchdowns, players will need some powerful positions like halfback to propel them to victory.

Speed ​​and Agility aside, which are excellent, Daniels has a Throw Power of 91 that helps him get a Deep Accuracy of 82 and Mid Accuracy of 85, both of which are pretty good for a quarterback who gets nearly 7 million dollars in salary and is only 23 years old.

5 Malik Willis

Speed: 90, Scrambling Quarterback


Like Travis and Dobbs, Willis is also an option that should only be considered as a backup quarterback on the team, unless the player manages to increase his stats by using consumables. Willis is, of course, significantly faster than Dobbs and Travis, but he's a conservative decision maker, making him not a reliable option to fit, especially with a paranoid sense of pressure.

That said, Willis is still young, and for his age and overall rating, he comes with impressive stats for speed, agility and throwing power. For franchise players, he may not be a viable option with a 4-year contract. Also, Willis has a salary of over $4 million, which is quite close to Daniels, who is younger and more skilled.

4 Anthony Richardson

Speed: 91, Scrambling Quarterback


The youngest quarterback on this list is also one of the best. Anthony Richardson is a pure talent and a quick look at his amazing performance last season will make that clear. He is the first rookie ever to score rushing touchdowns as a quarterback in his first three games in the NFL.

Any player looking for a dual-threat quarterback with decent stats all around, great speed and a reasonable salary needs to consider the Colts' Richardson. He has a 3-year contract in place with the Colts and will receive a salary of over $3 million. But that's nothing for a QB with ideal pressure feel and 91 speed.

3 Justin Fields

Speed: 92, Scrambling Quarterback


Steelers' Fields is pretty close to Richardson in almost every state. He is slightly quicker and more agile than Richardson, but he has a paranoid sense of pressure. Fields is a few years older than Richardson, but he is a viable option after the start of the season with just one year remaining on his contract with Pittsburgh.

Without good linebackers in Madden NFL 25, it can be quite difficult to prevent opposing teams from scoring touchdown after touchdown.

Field's 60 awareness is a big problem, but with a 91 throw power and 80 depth accuracy, he's still decent at sending passes across the field. With a salary of $3 million, Fields is another cheap option for franchise players to invest in.

2 Kyle Murray

Speed: 93, Scrambling Quarterback


The #1 quarterback of the Arizona Cardinals is also the second best QT in Madden 25 when it comes to speed. Only Lamar Jackson is faster than Murray and it's not by a wide margin. Murray is an ideal decision maker which is good, but having a paranoid sense of pressure is a step backwards.

He comes with a Deep Accuracy of 83, which is impressive, but he has a pretty high salary and a 5-year contract with the Cardinals. Both Jackson and Hurst have much lower salaries while being superstars.

1 Lamar Jackson

Speed: 95, Scrambling Quarterback

Not only is Jackson the fastest quarterback in Madden 25but he's also the second-best quarterback overall, trailing Mahomes by a small margin. Speed ​​isn't the only skill mastered for Jackson, as he also has great stats for Awareness (98), Short Accuracy (97), and Mid Accuracy (95).


Lamar Jackson is an aggressive decision maker with an ideal feel for pressure, both of which are prime qualities for a quarterback. His Superstar ability prevents Jackson from being fumbled inside the zone. Jackson is arguably the best pick in a fantasy draft for any player.
